There have definitely been times in my life where I felt like I was on my own, like it was just me against the world (Thanks, Tupac).�� It is during those trying times that we are hyper aware of the people who take the time to truly pay attention to us. Today I am grateful to the people who care. Not the ones who are just "doing their job", but the ones who go above and beyond. This extends to the people who take the time to read your emails and respond with their thoughts. It is the people who sit and have a cup of coffee and truly listen to what is on your mind as opposed to staring at their watch. It is the people who recognize that you cooked dinner so you are exempt from doing the dishes. It is the customer service representative that understands that you have been on hold for 45 minutes and does not just give you the run around. It is the people who call you on your birthday instead of just posting on your wall. Then there are the people who REALLY care, but I might save them for another day.
Who are the people in recent days who have shown you they care by just taking one extra step in your direction?
